OneFootball Case Study Video
For football fans worldwide, staying connected to their favorite teams, players, and matches is a passion—and OneFootball delivers exactly that. The platform is a one-stop shop for football fans to follow their teams, get up-to-date information, and immerse themselves in global football culture. With over 100 million users spanning multiple continents, OneFootball is an essential companion for fans to track live scores, player stats, breaking news, and more.
Behind the scenes, OneFootball runs on a sophisticated, high-scale infrastructure hosted on AWS and distributed across multiple AWS zones under the same region. The company’s traffic patterns present both predictable challenges—such as spikes during major matches and tournaments—and unexpected ones, like last-minute transfers or controversial VAR (video assistant refereeing ) decisions that send fans flocking to the app. This mix of predictability and unpredictability makes app reliability mission-critical.
“We’re not just delivering content; we’re delivering a real-time connection to something people are passionate about. That means we can’t afford delays or gaps in the experience, especially for our pay-per-view users during high-traffic moments,” said Bruno Costa, Principal Site Reliability Engineer at OneFootball.
